The last Hollywood current release I saw was Napoleon and yeah…I still want my money back 😂 But as for new releases so far I’ll stay home with my physical media etc. Since Hollywood brought this fresh hell on itself…well, yeah. 😊

Movie Theaters is too expensive.It's cheaper to watch a movie at Home. The Movie Industry is trying too hard to create the next Box Office Hit instead of just creating a good movie.

I've become so apathetic to movies and TV. Remember when a great movie or show came out and we sat in eager anticipation for the next chapter? Now I dread when a good movie or show gets a next chapter, as more often than not it isn't good and I feel awful for being excited.

I've gone from seeing 2 to 3 movies a month to 2 a year .... prices and Quality are what's stopped me and my friends going to the cinemas ... Most of us having 75" TV's or bigger and this makes it less likely to shell out money for a movie we could watch with friends at someone's home.

I mean honestly I could go the rest of my life without watching a new movie, all of the ones I've seen in the last 10 years or so were terrible anyway.

For me Gladiator was a standalone story which worked for it.

Ugh! Why does EVERY movie need to be a sequel and a tent pole movie? When going to the movie theater was enjoyable, it wasn’t like this, and there were even small and medium budget pictures that had actual substance to them and audiences were entertained by them. That is all long gone, and will NEVER return to movie theaters because that is now the domain of streaming services.

When a $20 bill doesn’t even get you a large popcorn and large drink, movie theaters need to close.

Fingers crossed that this year will be even harder for Hollywood than last year was.

Movie theater experience with a good movie is still top-notch for movie viewing but with my Soundsystem and 70 inch screen TV and being able to pause and go to the bathroom and eat whatever I want just makes for a better experience at home

Kraven The Animal Rights Activist. Don't let the Fact that his Costume is made out of Fur fool you.

The “crazy” bit is a significant issue for me: I try to see movies in theaters, but just about every time, someone is talking through the show: I even had someone making a FaceTime call the other week. And since the theaters are so understaffed and the kids left in charge lack the will to stand up to their objectionable customers, forget any chance of anything being done about it. Much as I love the big screen, it’s hard to justify paying the money when you can’t even enjoy the movie in peace.

We just lost one of the biggest legends in film history (RIP Roger Corman), and I'd like to hope that at least a few people in Hollywood will really stop to reflect on how he made and produced movies. Were they *good* movies? Not necessarily, but they sure are a hell of a lot of fun. I'd certainly rather watch his version of Fantastic 4 than whatever Disney has planned, because they don't make fun movies anymore.

Back in 2022, the grifters tried to hype up The Kang Dynasty and Secret Wars by leaking their synopses. The meat of the leak was the plot of Secret Wars. Apparently the TVA rebel against Kang and rally a band of multiversal heroes (the Fox and Sony characters) to stop him. Tobey Maguire, Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds were the main stars. Now, with Majors' dismissal, the threat of Kang was nipped in the bud with Loki controlling all the timelines now. That means these movies will be retooled like Hell. But I can still see Disney banking on the sheer amount of fanservice that is Robert Downey Jr, Tobey Maguire and Hugh Jackman meeting up with each other. That will get bums in seats.

I still love going to the theater. The experience is still special as far as I'm concerned, but it is expensive, so I'm not going to pay to be preached at, offended, disgusted or just plain bored! The theaters are re-releasing a lot of older and better stuff this year, so I still have a reason to go occasionally! It would truly break my heart if all the theaters start closing down! Get your act together, Hollywood!

Barbieheimer saved last Summer I think Inside Out 2, Deadpool & Wolverine, Joker: Folie À Deux, Moana 2, Wicked & Sonic The Hedgehog 3 are gonna be the biggest hits for theaters this year!

What they need is great movies. Well said. Its not rocket science.

Captain America or should l say, Falcon America will do poorly at the box office... In fact, Disney is scared to release Captain America/Falcon America because they know the fans aren't excepting Falcon as Captain America...

I moved to my new home. Right near the mall with an AMC Theator. It died before I could go there.

They do not know how to make a movie anymore.

Hollywood is like a poor person wearing a Gucci belt. Huge budget, highly paid overated stars, zero writing, zero storyline.

Another reason why films been struggling lately is because of mass media consolidation and the Telecommunications Act of 1996. And with the rise of the internet it's making legacy media obsolete.

I watch older movies, 80s and 90s are a gold mine. Also like building a physical library so it wont dissappear or get censored

They need to allow people to rent out theatres. They started using them for business meetings which is great, but I think Netflix theatres will be a thing in the near future. Places people can gather with others and watch a movie or series together (as long as prices are reasonable). Add in some decent arcade cabinets and you have a million dollar idea.

The movie theater near me is charging $35 per movie for a ticket to the extended cut lord of the rings trilogy. Things are not well for them. That being said dune part 2 did so well because I watched it in theaters so many times.

Another boney video I can listen to while on my Sunday walk let’s goooo

I'd barely been to the cinema since 2019. Nothing that's interested me enough to bother. But this year there have been quite a few I've gone to watch (Godzilla Minus 1, Godzilla X Kong, Ghostbusters 4, Planet of the Apes). Though I have loads of free tickets so haven't actually paid.

Thank you for the video! It's sad to see movie theaters circling the drain. I remember when people were lamenting the death of the drive in movie theater. I had never been to one myself, but the town I had just moved to had had one for decades. The owners sold the land to real estate developers, and a new housing subdivision was built there. 1. Could the companies who own movie theaters can recoup some of their losses by selling their real estate? 2. Also, I don't understand the link between Hollywood and movie theaters. a) Are any of the theater chains owned by Hollywood studios? b) How much does a movie theater earn from a tremendous success like Barbie? c) Does the individual theater or regional manager of a chain have a choice as to how many screens each theater will devote to a movie? For example, say somebody incompetent in charge of a theater decided they were only going to show Barbie on one screen once a day. That would kind of be that theater's fault for not utilizing more screens, wouldn't it? i) Are they contractually obligated to show movies that are not attracting customers? 3. Can the theaters sue: a) Hollywood studios for making such poor movies that the customers won't attend theaters? (It might be difficult to prove this in court lol. Maybe if there were evidence that all the focus groups said this movie is terrible, but the studios refused to make the changes the focus group advised. Jennifer Salke of Amazon Studios admitted to stopping using focus groups because they were not providing the responses she wanted to hear. 🤣) b) And/or can they sue the studios because streaming is taking away their customers? 4. Can Hollywood re-release movies? I have a feeling if Star Wars OT and LOTR were shown in theaters, people would go and would bring their kids. All the studios must have tons of massively successful movies from the past that they could re-release for PROFIT. Imagine re-releasing the Disney animated and classic Pixar movies for an entirely new generation of kids? I can only imagine that the theaters would love this. Thank you for the video! How's Frank? 🙏😁🐻🎥🎞️🎬

The theaters should try and experiment and have certain cities lower the movie prices to making very little, based on the average foot traffic. Advertise that they are lowering prices in that city. See if they can make up money other ways. I was kind of thinking about this for disney theme parks, look at the average foot traffic from 1 year ago exactly and then lower the prices to making only $1-2 per person. See if that would increase foot traffic thereby possibly making more money.

@@momeloleather4827 I’m all for continuing a franchise if you’ve got a good story to tell but Hollywood mismanaged and destroyed too many franchises that I assume the worst. Also, I just want fresh and new ideas and I think a good avenue for that is adapting material that hasn’t gotten one in movies or tv.

The last time I went to a theater, a family with kids that had tablets at behind me. It was horrible. I'm not going back anymore.

You know what’s funny about the movie theaters being in trouble due to lack of attendance? Ticket prices haven’t dropped. Supply and demand be damned I guess.

Fast and furious drive to apply for social security! Make it happen Hollywood!

Back then the tickets at my theaters were 10 bucks now the price has been double to almost 15 dollars and popcorn is expensive as shit

The only thing that really interests me is Deadpool. That being said, there are so many stories out there that aren't being told and I wish that studios had the courage to tell them with competent screenwriters whose passion it is to tell a good story instead of what we have now. A group of people who tic boxes to pad their resumes.

Even if they started making great movies again, it won’t change that because of out of control government spending and inflation people still won’t go.

I dunno, I might go see A Knight's Tale in the theater again if it was reasonable.

As much as I avoid the crap from Hollywood, I'm not subscribing to A streaming service.

Even if your favorite decade in film released in theaters for the first time, audiences would still only show up for event films and watch the rest at home. Habits have changed drastically. The theater needs another Harry Potter or MCU that "guarantees" attendance

If movies had lower budgets with a better story lines, studios will make more money.

I used to go once or twice a year, so I'm probably not a big loss to theatres, but the last couple of years I just can't justify the cost vs tha quality. If they all shut down I won't miss a beat.

Movie theaters would be a lot better if the movies were actually good and no one was allowed to talk or bring in their phone. Leave the damn phone at the door and put a landline or something on the wall for emergencies. This will turn off people not really invested in the movie.

Saw Ghostbusters,left disappointment. Saw GodzillaXKong,thought it was so so compared to Godzilla Minus one. Holding out hope for Sonic 3.

There’s no reason to go. I can wait a couple months and see it on steaming. The only justification are movies with big special effects but they have to be good for that. Maybe they need less consultants so they can make cheaper movies that people actually want to see.

If they constantly make films that are NOTHING to do with superheroes that would be great! Cinema will pick up.

This miracle that they need is making good films instead of poorly written propaganda... wait, they can't do that anymore. Lol

Joker 2 will be interesting to see if it's successful or not. Many (myself included) can't stand musicals so it's instantly unwatchable for me. Also a lot of people went to see the first film expecting something very different from what they got so may not return for the sequel. Harley Quinn fatigue is a thing too.

I will be seeing Deadpool and Wolverine. The rest I will wait for streaming. Why spend 50+ for a movie when I pay way less for streaming? Maybe Superman Legacy next year. I don't know. Depends on the villain. Good job with the presentation.

Yes I prefer watching at home but it’s important to support the movies we like so the studios can keep making them.

I read an article that said over half of action/adventure movies (basically the blockbuster) in the past 10yrs was a sequel/prequel. Pathetic that "writers" (or the studio, doesn't matter which) cant come up with an original idea/script anymore.

I think movie theater experience is kinda change since the pandemic. I don't know cause whenever there's a blockbuster coming out,i feel lack of interest

I miss the violent drama. I went to see LATE NIGHT WITH THE DEVIL and ABIGAIL in the theaters. The next movie I'm going to see is THE DEAD DON'T HURT with Viggio Mortinsen. He directed it as well.

Hollywood needs to do away with the wacko politics and make good movies again. You will then may see people going back to the theater to see them.

I haven't been to a movie since the 90s. I hate Hollywood and want to see it disappear, same with the music industry..

The demise of the mid budget movie is partially responsible for the lack of quality, cinema audiences are only paying to see the dazzling effects of big budget films in the cinema.

Like you said it’s just the quality. You have to be selective with going to the theaters. Every time I go it’s packed. Ppl still go. 80% of the movies just aren’t worth it. And not in demand. Who asked for a mad max prequel? Who asked for a twister sequel? Lol cmon. Horrible writing generic tropes and pushing agendas are the main issues too. The extremely high budgets aren’t helping either. The strike really didn’t change anything lol. And on top of tht. 2024 is just a slow yr.

Thanks for this video and you cover most of the points. Here is an additional one: The TV sets at home are getting bigger and bigger. A friend of mine has just bought a 77‘ TV. In the last decades we had in average smaller tv sets and now we have home theater experiences. Secondly we have a drop in Projector prices and now you can purchase an entire 150‘ set for less than 5k. The movie quality is getting worse and prices are increasing continuously. With the economic downturn, and the other reasons, it makes no sense to go to the cinema. This is an unstoppable trend and only the cinemas with an outstanding service or the best price-service fit will survive.
